Agentic Artificial Intelligence: Harnessing AI Agents to Reinvent Business, Work, and Life

Agentic AI in business, work, and life

Agentic Artificial Intelligence: Harnessing AI Agents to Reinvent Business, Work, and Life is a timely, practical look at one of the most discussed shifts in modern AI: systems that do more than generate text. Pascal Bornet and Jochen Wirtz focus on AI agents that can act, reason, remember, and coordinate tasks with increasing autonomy—making this a useful title for readers trying to understand where generative AI is heading next.

The book is shaped for business-minded readers, professionals, and anyone who wants a clear view of what agentic AI can do in the real world. Rather than treating the topic as theory alone, it moves through frameworks, experiments, implementation questions, and leadership concerns. That gives the reading experience a distinctly applied feel: conceptual enough to explain the technology, but grounded enough to be useful for decision-making.

What the book explores

• The rise of AI agents and how they differ from earlier AI tools
• The five levels of AI agents, from automation to autonomy
• Action, reasoning, and memory as the core building blocks of agentic systems
• Multi-agent systems and the trade-offs between creativity and reliability
• Practical considerations for building, deploying, and scaling AI agents
• Business models, organizational change, and human-agent collaboration

A strong fit for practical AI readers

This is especially relevant if you are following AI adoption in business settings, evaluating automation opportunities, or trying to understand how agentic systems may reshape workflows and leadership. The book also addresses the wider implications of AI agents for society, employment, and personal productivity, so it reaches beyond a narrow technical audience.

If you want a book that connects the ideas behind agentic AI with the realities of implementation, this title offers a broad, current, and business-aware perspective.
